The Didache - early Christian condemnation of abortion etc.

Dear Friends, what are thoughts on the Didache, an early Christian post-Biblical writing?

Wiki has this on the book: "The Didache (/ˈdɪdəkeɪ, -ki/; Greek: Διδαχή, translit. Didakhé, lit. "Teaching"),[1] also known as The Lord's Teaching Through the Twelve Apostles to the Nations (Διδαχὴ Κυρίου διὰ τῶν δώδεκα ἀποστόλων τοῖς ἔθνεσιν), is a brief anonymous early Christian treatise written in Koine Greek, dated by modern scholars to the first[2] or (less commonly) second century AD.[3] The first line of this treatise is "The teaching of the Lord to the Gentiles (or Nations) by the twelve apostles" ... The Didache is considered part of the group of second-generation Christian writings known as the Apostolic Fathers. The work was considered by some Church Fathers to be a part of the New Testament,[6] while being rejected by others as spurious or non-canonical,[7][8][9] In the end, it was not accepted into the New Testament canon.

An excerpt from the Didache on abortion: "Chapter 2. The Second Commandment: Gross Sin Forbidden
And the second commandment of the Teaching; You shall not commit murder, you shall not commit adultery, Exodus 20:13-14 you shall not commit pederasty, you shall not commit fornication, you shall not steal, Exodus 20:15 you shall not practice magic, you shall not practice witchcraft, you shall not murder a child by abortion nor kill that which is begotten[/born i.e. Infanticide].

You shall not covet the things of your neighbour, Exodus 20:17 you shall not forswear yourself, Matthew 5:34 you shall not bear false witness, Exodus 20:16 you shall not speak evil, you shall bear no grudge. You shall not be double-minded nor double-tongued; for to be double-tongued is a snare of death. Your speech shall not be false, nor empty, but fulfilled by deed.

You shall not be covetous, nor rapacious, nor a hypocrite, nor evil disposed, nor haughty. You shall not take evil counsel against your neighbour. You shall not hate any man; but some you shall reprove, and concerning some you shall pray, and some you shall love more than your own life."

God Bless.

I understand the Didache to be an extensive litany of rules and regulations that attempts to burden Christians under legalistic nonsense.

Maybe, but aren't wrong on abortion.

Even a broken clock is right 2x/day. lol...

We need the Didache to tell us abortion is wrong?

I don't see a problem with anything written there in. I find it strange that if some theologian of old has written a thesis on some biblical matter, the modern Christian recoils, but whe
n some modern preaxher writes something its met with million dollar book sales. Even if it's total rubbish.

No we don't. But it is good that we have a written record that the church of old rightly held our same position. Especially now days with the liberal churxh.

"You shall not murder." Matthew 19:18 There's an old one; direct from Jesus.

Imagine that. Now image that I have read posts on this very website that basically said we shouldnt call it out or seek legislation against it.

So, because it's in the Didache, this will convince them otherwise?
